Tell me, how does a Jersey girl find herself on the other side of the globe as a tattoo artist?

It was right around the time when Instagram first came out, and I suddenly had access, right on my cell phone, to photos taken by people all over the world of beautiful sunny places, pristine beaches, and insanely awesome tattoo work.

After finishing art school, painting and drawing was a hobby that I spent most nights after work on.
